I'm a photographer, book-artist, traveler, naturalist, and creator of the Contemplative Creatives Journey, An Online Workshop and Community and Desert Wisdom Cards and Workshops. Though often not well known, I find the desert a welcoming place - a healing space. Its mysteries and gifts transformed me several years ago. Since that first encounter, I return again and again to fill my well in what most people think of as a desolate region. I'd love to share my desert discoveries and wisdom with you. Please subscribe to receive my five part mini email course The Gifts of the Desert. It's my gift to you.

I had to turn the car around when I saw this pumpkin in its “perch” and park a few hundred feet away, and then walk along a too-busy country road to get to a place where I could photograph it. I just thought it was so unusual, I had to get the photo. It’s not something I will ever see again… 🙂
